Correct Answer: Scarcely the train had left
A sentence beginning with "scarcely" requires inversion: "Scarcely had the train left when the announcement was made." The trap is (b): test-takers suspect "when" and want to replace it with "than", but "scarcely...when" is the correct pairing — "than" belongs only to "no sooner...than".
